The Corcoran School of the Arts at the George Washington University held its annual thesis and capstone show this year both virtually and in person, giving graduate and undergraduate students from the class of 2021 the chance to exhibit their crowning academic and artistic projects. This year, in addition to an on-campus series of installations that can be safely visited through May 31, NEXT included an accessible virtual exhibition. Below, a few of the many projects created by the next generation of artists, photojournalists, interaction designers and more.
